Reply to comment by deletable666 in Sheriff says consideration of his family influence led to stopping Montgomery County mugshots posts by Serpenio_

Yes, it's a good thing for everybody and I have seen nobody here denying that.
But this still doesn't change the fact the this Sheriff did not change course for everybody else - only when this concerned his own family.

And that is nepotism.

It's not nepotism. Nepotism is showing favor to friends or family where they are treated differently then everyone else. Since this change effects everyone it's not nepotism.

This is just corruption. He is using his position of power to change the rules so that a family member is saved from some embarrassment. Just because it saves some other people doesn't change it though.
